Good to see Patriarch Porfirije rolling up his sleeve with everyone else. Blood donation is one of those quiet, practical things that really helps people in the hospital — we see it every day on my shift.

Our priest mentioned last week that the blood bank here in Toronto is always short. Nice to see the Patriarch actually doing it instead of just talking about it.

Yeah, it's good to see him just getting on with it like anyone else. My aunt needed blood after surgery last year and it made me realise how much those quiet donations matter. What ward do you work on, Elizabeth?

Our priest here at St. George’s always says the same thing about the Canadian Blood Services shortage. Good on the Patriarch for rolling up his sleeve; my wife and I try to give every eight weeks, but it’s surprising how few men from the parish show up. Do you and your family donate regularly?
